Excerpt from The Integrative Action of the Nervous System Argument: Correspondence between intensity of stimulus and intensity of reflex reaction. Differences between different re flexes in this respect. Functional solidarity of the intraspinal group of elements composing a reflex centre. Sensitivity of reflexes, as compared with nerve-trunks, to asphyxia] and anaemic conditions, and to anaesthetic and certain other drugs. Functional significance of the neural perikarya. Reflexes of double-sign. Reflexes of successive double-sign, and of simultaneous double-sign. Evidence of reciprocal innervation in reflexes. Reflex inhibition of the tonus of skeletal muscles. Reflex inhibition of the knee-jerk. Time-relations and other characters of reflex inhibition as exemplified by the flexion reflex. Other examples of inhibition as part of reflex recipro cal innervation. The seat of this reflex inhibition is intraspinal. Conversion of reflex inhibition into reflex excitation by strych nine and by tetanus toxin. Significance of the centr situation of reflex inhibition in the cases here dealt with.
